Default Chevelle guys, I need some help...

I am acquiring my steering items, and I have found a local yard with the jeep steering boxes. I've spent HOURS on here searching, and it's a dead end.
Here's my question: which box do I need? 2 wheel drive, or 4 wheel drive? I can't find this anywhere.

I picked up an Atsco 7525 '98 JGC box from Amazon. Not sure the year range or if 2wd and 4wd boxes are different but hopefully that points you in the right direction.

94-98 Grand cherokee box. Like 200$ in any decent parts store. Lines are metric o-ring fittings. Have to research conversion lines. Maybe mid 80s g body lines i believe.

Yes make sure it is the Grand Cherokee. The regular ones will not work.

Thanks guys!!, I've been reading up on this for quite some time now. I know that I need a grand Cherokee box, and even the years needed. So I'm ordering all my steering related stuff today, and I call my buddy that owns a yard that I frequent, and he asks me "2 wheel drive, or 4 wheel drive?" I ask him if they are different, and he says yes. I don't know what to do at this point. I can't find any info regarding the two boxes.
When some of you bought your boxes, which one did you buy?

I just checked out autozone online, and the part number you bought is a 2wd box. This is what I needed! Thanks again!!
